I cannot express enough the game changing healing power of fascial counterstrain.

This is my 15year old male patient. basketball player fracture medial mallelous. Hardware is 3 screws.

First two pictures are 13 days post fracture. 3days post op surgery

Last two pictures are 20 days post fracture and 10 days post surgery.

Patient has almost complete ROM minimal swelling and no bruising ZERO PAIN OR DISCOMFORT!
All fingers cross he will be cleared for weight bearing next week.

FCS (fasical counterstrain) is able to identify the exact system of the human body that the trapped inflammation is and through light pressure creates a vaccuum like effect where the bodys lymphatic system clears the stuck inflammation allowing fresh blood and nutrients in. Promoting quicker recovery and healing! Complete Game changer.

Call me today FCS can treat ALL forms of inflammation pain and dysfunction! your doctors cannot!

Exercises creates Neuro plasticity!!!!!

Researchers have recently found that the molecule lactate, which builds up in the body during intense exercise, might directly activate brain mechanisms linked to growth and plasticity. In a controlled study with healthy adults who received a lactate infusion (without exercising), levels of a precursor form of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (pro-BDNF) rose significantly in the blood. This suggests that lactate alone can mimic part of the brain-boosting effect of exercise by increasing pro-BDNF levels. However, the mature form of BDNF (m-BDNF) did not change under those conditions.

The findings point to lactate acting like a signalling molecule—sometimes called a “lactormone”—that may help relay the benefits of physical activity to the brain. During exercise, muscles produce lactate, the liver and other tissues may release it into circulation, and then brain cells respond by switching metabolic modes and producing growth factors like BDNF. The absence of mature BDNF change in the infusion study indicates that exercise involves multiple pathways beyond just lactate elevation.

In practical terms, this research reinforces the importance of vigorous exercise for brain health, as it triggers lactate release plus many other beneficial responses. While the study opens possibilities for interventions or therapies that target lactate-based signalling, it does not suggest replacing exercise with a simple infusion or supplement. Physical activity remains the most holistic way to boost brain plasticity.

Osteopaths often included poems in their Journals. Here is one example:

Image: 2010.02.1645.183- The Wizard of Oz-teopathy; No Date. poem from unidentified journal or magazine attached to page 41 of the Osteopathy Scrapbook, paper laminated, article titled "The Wizard of Oz-Teopathy", poem on osteopathy; 7 cm (w) x 10.5 cm (h). Paper yellowed, glued to the paper, entire paper is laminated.

This stunning visualization by Gaël McGill reveals the inside of a human cell like never before. Built using cryo-electron microscopy data, it's a science-based illustration—not a photo—showing the dense, complex world of molecules that power life. A breathtaking look into what we're truly made of.

"The osteopath is a physician. He is a scientific physician with the same fundamental study and knowledge of the body in health and disease as marks the physician of the older order. He is broadminded, because he recognizes that the only general cure for disease of any kind can be found only in the natural healing power of the body itself, in the blood and the tissues as nature has developed them throughout the ages." Dr. M. A. Lane 1921, The Osteopath as a Modern Physician.

The heart isn’t just a pump—it has its own neural network of 40,000 neurons, often called the "heart-brain." This independent system processes information, learns, and even makes decisions without input from the brain.
Scientists believe this heart intelligence plays a crucial role in emotional regulation and stress response. That’s why feelings like love, fear, or anxiety can directly affect your heart’s rhythm and function. The constant communication between the heart and brain proves emotions aren’t just in your head—they’re deeply connected to your heart.
This discovery reshapes how we understand emotions, showing that the heart and mind work together in ways we’re only beginning to uncover.
